3.6 Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner’s manual and make sure that the output voltage selector switch is set to the correct voltage. If the charger has an adjustable charge rate, charge the battery in the lowest rate first. 3.7 Make sure that the charger cable clips make tight connections. 4. CHARGER LOCATION RISK OF EXPLOSION AND CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID. 4.1 Locate the charger as far away from the battery as the DC cables permit. 4.2 Never place the cha

7. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY: 7.1 Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post. 7.2 Attach at least a 24-inch (61 cm) long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post. 7.3 Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to the POSITIVE (POS

Attach the Foot: Remove the charger from the packing materials and place upside down on a flat surface. Attach the foot and secure it with the four ¼-20 thread cutting screws provided. Assemble the Wheels and Axle: Hold the axle upright on the floor or work surface. Then, using a hammer, tap one of the axle caps onto the top end of the axle. Be sure to tap the axle cap on straight. Slide both wheels onto the axle with the recessed hubs facing out as shown. Install the second axle cap. Mou

1. Carefully lay the charger on its front to prepare for assembly. 2. Assemble the foot (Item 6) using two ¼-20 screws (Item 5) and tighten securely. 3. Attach the two axle brackets (Item 1) using one 10-32 screw (Item 4) in each. The brackets should have one end hooked into the slot in the charger base. Be careful not to drop the brackets inside of the charger case. Do not completely tighten the screws (Item 4) at this time. 4. Slide the axle (Item 2) into the brackets (Item 1) until centere

Ammeter The Ammeter indicates the amount of current, measured in amps, that is being drawn by the battery. As a battery takes on a charge, it draws less current from the charger. Correspondingly, the meter will show less current being drawn by the battery. When the current stops decreasing, the battery is charged. The 2 amp charge rate may indicate some activity on the meter, although the meter does not have the resolution to display this low rate. Voltmeter The voltmeter indicates the vo

• For the 2A charge rate, switch #1 is not used and switch #2 should be toggled up. • For the 35A charge rate, both switches (#1 and #2) should be toggled down. 6. To disconnect the charger, reverse the procedure. NOTE: This is a manual charger and will overcharge a battery if permitted to operate for extended periods of time. Monitor the charging often.

Using the Battery Voltage Tester Overview This battery charger has a built-in voltmeter to test your battery’s state of charge. A recently charged battery could have a temporarily high voltage due to what is known as “surface charge”. The voltage of such a battery will gradually drop during the period immediately after the charging system is disengaged. Consequently, the tester could display inconsistent values for such a battery. For a more accurate reading, the surface charge should be r

General Charging Notes Fan: The charger is designed to control its cooling fan for efficient operation. Consequentially, it is normal for the fan to start and stop when maintaining a fully charged battery. Keep the area near the charger clear of obstructions to allow the fan to operate efficiently. Voltage: The voltage displayed during charging is the charging voltage and is usually higher than the battery’s resting voltage. 13. CALCULATING CHARGE TIME Use the table below to more accurately

17. BEFORE RETURNING FOR REPAIRS 17.1 When a charging problem arises, make certain that the battery is capable of accepting a normal charge. Double check all connections, the AC outlet for a full 120-volts, the charger clips for correct polarity and the quality of the connections from the cables to the clips and from the clips to the battery system. The clips must be clean. 17.2 When a battery is very cold, partially charged or sulfated, it will not draw the full rated amperes from the charg
